Flex :: Get Access To HtmlText Setter Code In TextArea?
Sep 21, 2010
I can see that when I set htmlText in a textarea control, the text property contains the html free version of the text. So there is a parser somewhere that is ripping of html from the content, which would be very usefull for my purposes.
However, based on the flex source code, the setting of html is done in UITextField.as, which is the type of the textfield member of TextArea. The line that does the work is:
super.htmlText = value;
in function override public function set htmlText(value:String):void Trying to follow the class hieararchy, I end up in FlexTextField class, which extends flash player's textfield class. It appears the functionality I am after is in flash player. So is there any way of accessing this html cleaning function?

This bug is hard to describe, but easily reproduced with the bottom code. Just copy, paste, and compile+run in Flex 3 and you'll see the problem.
Edit: Here is a link to a running demo: [URL] In the demo, the default color of TextArea is set to red.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="horizontal" applicationComplete="applicationComplete(event);">

I am putting together a presentation on flex for adobe user group that specialize in coldfusion. In my example I would like to display the text of the cfc being called from the webservice tag in my flex application. Is there a simple way to load the actual text for the cfc instead of the html that coldfusion is passing back to my URLloader variable?

According to this webpage, the htmlText property in TextArea can handle CSS text style if using span tag. I want to format multiple tags in my code. Something like:
var tags:TextArea = new TextArea();
tags.htmlText = "<span style='color: rgb(165, 150, -90);
font-size: 0.955882610016677em'>street</span>,[code]............
It only gives me plain text. I was wondering if it is supported in the htmlText property and how do I get around this.

There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.

I have a number of very poor-quality pdf documents that look like 80's photocopies, which I'm rebuilding in Flash (Flex Builder 3 MXML application), representing paragraphs of text in TextAreas so that selected portions can be bold or italic, or whatever I need. I need a way to apply toolTips or event listeners to individual words within the block of text to link those words to a glossary. I'm perfectly happy to create a definition panel that is populated and made visible with a mouseOver, but don't know how to do it to just a portion of the text.

After doing nothing with AS for quite a while (2007) I started to code a little project in actionscript 3.0. An extensive Java course cleared up a lot on OO programming, but probably gave me some false expectations too.I'm trying to program a game in which a human and computer player compete. The computer player needs to do the same actions as the human one.So for every onClick for the human player has on a screen element, a computer player class needs the same functionality. Now for some reason the clickHandler won't let me call the setter function set selected function (see the lines in red).
Code:
package Classes{
import flash.display.*;

In Flex, you can add functions to the prototype of a Class; but how do you add a setter? For example, with A some (non-dynamic) class, you can do this:
var o:Object = new A();
A.prototype.myFunction = function():void{trace("foo");}
o.foo();
And that will call the foo function. But how could you add a setter, so that setting the property calls the setter (just like it would if you declared the setter in the "normal" way on the A class). So what I want is something like this:
// doesn't work!
A.prototype["set myProperty"] = mySetter;
o.myProperty = "test"; // should call mySetter
PS: Manipulating the prototype is an unusual thing to do in Flex, and not something I'd recommend in general. But for the sake of this question, just assume that there is a reason to dynamically add a setter.

I've been trying for hours to make sense of this problem. When I run my code through the Flash IDE, everthing is fine. However, when I run it through the command line compiler or Flex itself t doesn't work. This is after setting up all the required Flex bits to create a Flash stage and display content. it keeps giving me an "Access of undefined property" error though I've clearly defined those properties in question a line or two before.

What the heck is going on?? I'm stumped. Embed seems to work fine, but I'd prefer to change it this way. I think there's something about XML dynamism if you use embed instead.

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I have a component where I expose the property 'questions' with the following code:
private var _questions:ArrayCollection;
private var questionsChanged:Boolean;
[Bindable("questionsChanged")]
[Code]....
In this component, I use commitProperties() to implement my logic.
I use Cairngorm and the 'questions' is in the model and hence it's defined as a source for data binding.
When the 'questions' ArrayCollection's size changes elsewhere in the application, it is not invoking the setter method in the component that is destination for the data binding.

Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).

I am working as a developer on a Flex/Air application and we are using the buggy Flex RTE (RichTextEditor) to let the user manage his notes. At the moment I am trying to evaluate how costly it would be for us to build a new text component using the TLF (Text Layout Framework).Really important is the question if we can import the HTML text, produced by the RTE straight away. I know that there are some limitations regarding lists with TLF 1.1, but does it work in general?
I have just tried to grab some HTML formatted text from RTE like:

I'm having this problem of adding an image to the textArea in RichTextEditor (RTE) on the fly and this image seems to "reset" the html properties of the textArea.
Better explained:
The user starts writing something in the TextArea (with Verdana in size:12 font settings). When he adds an image to the text area, the cursor right after the image gets very small and the font settings are reset to HUM777B in size:2.
How could I avoid this behavior?
It seems Flex adds additional HTML code before the image tag. If there was any way to avoid this I would be able to add my own settings to the tags.

If you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...
